ADHD is OVER https://www.adhdisover.com/
- Inside Our Minds is a two-part documentary produced by BBC Two and presented by Chris Packham exploring lives of people with ADHD and dyslexia (2024-2025)
- What would you call a four year old who caresses all the lampposts in the park? Quirky? Unusual? Or sick? Such labels are at the center of the debate about autism. Is it a disease or a different way of being--or both? After his son's diagnosis, filmmaker Todd Drezner visits the front lines of the autism wars. We meet parents desperate for a cure, visit conferences where vendors hawk vitamins and hyperbaric chambers, hear from advocates who fight for 'neurodiversity,' and follow a group of autistic children and adults whose lives show that 'if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person.' (2010)
